Date

IASTED-HCI 2007 will take place from March 14 - 16, 2007.


Location


Tucked into the Chamonix Valley at the intersection of the French,
Italian, and Swiss borders, Chamonix, France, has been a popular vacation
spot since the first luxury hotel was built in 1816. Whether you spend a day
skiing the famous Valle Blanche trail, touring the valley in a hot air
balloon, or enjoying one of Chamonix's many historical museums, you are
guaranteed a truly memorable experience.


Human-Computer Interaction 2007

Every day computers communicate, work, and engage with us; they are an
inseparable part of modern life. Advances in human-computer interaction
require cooperation between many disciplines, including artificial
intelligence, information technology, aesthetics, and psychology. Each
improvement in the design of an interface, the usability of a system, or the
intuitiveness of an entity, has the potential to dramatically affect our
lives.

Human-Computer Interaction (IASTED-HCI 2007) will be an international
forum for researchers and practitioners from the multi-disciplinary fields of
human-computer interaction. The conference aims to promote new ideas,
research, and results in this area, to strengthen the relationships between
connected fields of study, and to improve the cooperation between academia
and industry.


Conference Chair


Dr. Daniel Cunliffe is the lead for the Computing and Minority Languages
Group at the University of Glamorgan in Wales, UK. He is also co-author of
the book Multimedia Computing (Learning Matters, 2003). Dr. Cunliffe's
research interests include minority culture and minority language communities
online, and Web sites for bilingual users.
